TARANTULA HEART

THE Melvins will release a new album, Tarantula Heart, via Ipecac Recordings. The LP is quite possibly the band's most unconventional, catchiest and imaginative work yet, continuing a legacy celebrated for it's eccentric and extraordinary output. The majority of 'Tarantula Heart' has dual drum parts, adds longtime Melvins drummer Dale Crover. Roy is an amazing drummer. We would discuss what we would do pattern wise, then we'd just go for it. Improvising riffs and trading off on drum fills. Recorded, mixed and co-produced by longtime Melvins collaborator Toshi Kasai, the album also features WE ARE THE ASTEROID guitar player Gary Chester. Gary and the Melvins' history goes back to their days on Boner Records, with the guitar player formerly having been a part of the legendary band ED HALL.
